My working method
I take an integrative approach and see the person as a whole, not as a collection of symptoms and diagnoses. I also take into account what the person has been through previously.
Past experiences leave deep traces in the innermost layers of the psyche and the body, showing up as tension and as beliefs and thoughts in the worldview.
Usually, a person is not aware of this connection. A person lives a normal life until the body starts to protest – showing up as an imbalance, for example through a relationship collapsing or health deteriorating.
Everything is connected and has a reason, but once people reach the end of the road, this is usually where they stumble. Since everything they have done before has led to where they are today, it is not always easy to find a solution – but still possible. I am here for you who are ready to start getting to know who you are.
I take a preventive approach in medicine, focusing on the person and their needs. I help you understand your symptoms and, if needed, review your medical history, interpret test results and other matters relating to diagnoses and treatment plans – things that have remained unclear and questions you have not received answers to.
I also offer a more in-depth approach. This involves reviewing your health profile and drawing up a health plan based on the latest guidelines and your own wishes, taking into account your current complaints and possible chronic conditions. It also includes a careful review of your medication list and/or use of supplements, as well as your diet, physical activity, etcetera.
The plan is based on your preferences to balance your psychosomatic health and move closer to a healthier version of yourself, with the potential to alleviate disease and maintain health. In summary, the plan includes a detailed review and analysis of your entire life, taking into account all medical history – from minor to severe episodes, surgeries, heredity, habits, and more. Further details will be discussed in more detail at the visit.
In a calm atmosphere of complete acceptance, I also help you deal with life's crises and difficulties, become aware of and transform beliefs and limiting thought patterns, work through inner conflicts, and rediscover a sense of inner depth. I also work with spiritual questions and spirituality.
I also offer psychological support in the form of existential therapy and logotherapy, as well as emotion-focused and body-oriented therapy. In addition, I use hypnosis for various types of problems.
The various working methods and forms of therapy don't contradict each other – they're simply different ways of understanding the same person from different perspectives. This creates better conditions for finding a solution.
Methods
What does an integrative approach mean?
In my work, I use an integrative approach, which means that I combine several different forms of therapy and that we look at your issues from several perspectives.
This makes it easier to understand what's happening to you and to find the way forward toward a solution.

What is logotherapy?
It's a talking-based method for dealing with questions about meaning in a broader sense.
What can this therapy contribute?
The therapy focuses on the creation of meaning as a person's fundamental motivation.
The method is effective for a sense of meaninglessness, during a deep crisis, when you don't understand your suffering, or during a heavy loss.
What is existential therapy?
In this therapy, the focus isn't on symptoms or diagnosis, but on human existence – where questions about things like death, meaning, relationships, and the conditions of life inevitably come up.
What can this therapy help with?
The therapy helps you understand situations that feel hard to grasp. The focus is on gaining insights and searching for goals in your existence, but also on working with depressive and apathetic states.
What is hypnosis?
It's a calm state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. During the day, you go in and out of trance without noticing it – for example, during monotonous tasks, when you're reading an exciting book, or watching a film, etc.
Basically, when you're deeply absorbed in something, you end up in a trance. Trance is a state where your attention is directed inward, while hypnosis is a process that helps you get into that state.
According to recent research, it's thought that you spontaneously go into trance about every other hour.
What benefits can hypnosis offer?
Through hypnosis, you relax, which makes it easier to explore thoughts and feelings that might otherwise be hard to reach. Hypnotherapy is considered effective for managing conditions like chronic pain, processing trauma, phobias and addiction.
There's no set template – an individual plan is created for each case, which really makes the results good.
